Heuchera Stormy Seas

Coral Bells 'Stormy Seas

Heuchera ‘Stormy Seas’ is an eye-catching foliage perennial valued for its dramatic silver and purple-toned leaves. It forms a compact, mounded clump of rounded foliage washed with silvery tones and highlighted by deep purple veining, creating a striking marbled effect throughout the growing season. The leaf undersides often show deeper burgundy tones that add depth and contrast. In late spring to early summer, slender stems carry airy sprays of small creamy-white flowers above the foliage, providing a light accent while the distinctive leaves remain the main ornamental feature.
